Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months, but avoid letting the soil dry out completely.

Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.

Pinch back the tips of stems regularly to encourage bushier growth and more flowers. Remove any yellowing or dead leaves and spent flower heads to maintain a tidy appearance and promote further blooming.

Prune more heavily in spring to shape.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 7-10 cm cuttings from healthy stems, remove lower leaves, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone. Insert into moist potting mix or water. Roots typically form within 3-4 weeks.

Repot young plants annually in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one, ensuring it has adequate drainage holes.
